Democratian lays out the CRC Scam end game/obituary. More whaling and gnashing of teeth to come.

As it seems that yet another of the ends for the CRC Scam are arriving, the democratian took the time to explain what the end game looks like. And for once, it looks like reasonably accurate, bearing an unusual passing resemblance to journalism, a concept rarely exhibited in the Lazy C.

The problem with this version is this: how many deadlines have their been? How many times have we been falsely told that it's "now or never?"

I can't count that high. And that kind of thing is a huge part of the problem: those who want this thing have no trouble lying.

None.

They lie about what it will do. They lie about congestion. They lie about freight mobility. They lie about safety.

Sen. Annette Cleveland was the most recent local liar: She tried to run an amendment to ram CRC funding down our throats. And kids, that's EXACTLY what would have happened if Probst had won.

*** VERY IMPORTANT NEWS *** Senate Bill 6001: Making 2013-2015 supplemental transportation appropriations
The amendment failed by voice vote in the Senate on March 4, 2014,
increases the overall appropriation for Program Improvements by $262,400,000
in the 2013-2015 fiscal biennium to construct the preferred alternative
design for a bridge with light rail that connects Vancouver, Washington
and Portland, Oregon. Asserts that it is the Legislature's intent to
fully fund the project up to $3,413,000,000 using contributions from
federal funds, toll revenue, and equal contributions from the states of
Washington and Oregon. http://www.washingtonvotes.org/Legislation.aspx?ID=162002

She replayed the same lies, over and over; the same talking points that have been disproven repeatedly, only to run into a fan held up by Rivers, Benton, King and Ericksen.

Words of Wisdom

"No one is more hated than he who speaks the truth."

“In a time of universal deceit – telling the truth is a revolutionary act.”

George Orwell, the author of 1984

"Americans are so enamored of equality that they would rather be equal in slavery than unequal in freedom."

Alexis de Tocqueville

"A return to first principles in a republic is sometimes caused by the simple virtues of one man. His good example has such an influence that the good men strive to imitate him, and the wicked are ashamed to lead a life so contrary to his example."Niccolo Machiavelli

“Cowardice asks the question, 'Is it safe?' Expediency asks the question, 'Is it politic?' But conscience asks the question, 'Is it right?' And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular but because conscience tells one it is right.”

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
